Scott's slam helps Orioles rally past Mariners

Baseball Betting Lines

05/13/2010 - Baltimore, MD (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Luke Scott hit his second career grand slam in the eighth inning to help the Baltimore Orioles take a 6-5 win over the Seattle Mariners in the finale of a three-game set at Camden Yards.

Corey Patterson hit a solo home run while Ty Wigginton went 2-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored for the Orioles, who won the last two games of the series after dropping the opener.

Kevin Millwood went 6 2/3 innings in the start and was charged with five runs on seven hits with a walk and five strikeouts. Mark Hendrickson (1-0) threw 1 1/3 scoreless innings to get the win while Alfredo Simon earned his fifth save of the season.

Ichiro Suzuki went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer, while Mike Sweeney and Michael Saunders each added a solo shot for the Mariners, who have won just two of their last 12 games.

Felix Hernandez was superb in the start, as he gave up one run on five hits with two walks and seven strikeouts over seven innings.

Seattle had a four-run lead going into the bottom of the eighth, but it melted away with Brandon League (3-3) on the mound. Patterson crushed a pitch into the right field stands to start the inning. Adam Jones then struck out, but made it to first on a wild strike three. Nick Markakis then singled and, after a fielder's choice groundout from Miguel Tejada, Wigginton walked to load the bases. Scott then stepped to the plate and hit the first pitch he saw over the left-center wall for a 6-5 lead.

Simon took the mound in the ninth and got the first out, but then hit Josh Wilson with a pitch to put the tying run on base. Ken Griffey worked a pinch- hit walk, but Saunders struck out swinging. Suzuki then drove a pitch to left that dropped in, but Patterson came up with the ball, gunned it to home and Craig Tatum applied the tag to Wilson to end the game.

Millwood retired the first nine batters he faced before Suzuki led off the fourth with a single. A sacrifice bunt from Chone Figgins moved Suzuki to second, but Seattle was unable to advance him any further.

Baltimore worked a run across the plate in the bottom of the fourth. With one out, Markakis drew a walk and moved to second on a wild pitch. Tejada's groundout advanced Markakis to third and Wigginton followed with a bloop single to right for a 1-0 lead.

Seattle, though, answered with three runs in the fifth. Ryan Langerhans led off with a double and came home three batters later on Saunders' single. Suzuki followed by smacking a 2-0 pitch just over the wall in right-center for a 3-1 lead.

The Mariners made it a 4-1 game in the sixth, when Sweeney hit the first pitch he saw over the center field wall. It was his first homer of the season.

Patterson led off the Baltimore sixth with a double and advanced to third on a Jones groundout, but he was stranded there after Markakis grounded out and Tejada struck out to end the frame.

Saunders' solo homer in the seventh gave Seattle a 5-1 lead.

Pro Football Odds : NFC SOUTH BETTING ODDS

NFL Sports Betting

NFL betting action is back! At MySportsbook, all of the pro football odds are posted for the NFC North. Check out how we see the four teams in this cloudy division stacking up this year in the chase for the playoffs! Green Bay Packers (+125) - With QB Aaron Rodgers leading the offense and DC Dom Capers working his magic on defense, the Packers are a real force to be reckoned with.

Virtually nothing changed on this offense for Green Bay from last year to this year, save for the addition of rookie OT Brian Bulaga to the bunch. Expect more huge numbers from the Pack, and a relatively favorable schedule should get them over the hump and into the playoffs once again this season. My NFL Betting Predictions: 11-5, 1st place in NFC North Minnesota Vikings (+130) - There are still too many unknowns about the Vikes this year. There is a huge difference between QB Brett Favre and either Tarvaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels under center. Plus, is Favre comes back, is he really going to be able to keep his pick total under double digits again? Depth at running back looked like it might have been an issue with RB Chester Taylor fleeing in free agency, but drafting RB Toby Gerhart should pick up the difference. This defense is still suitable, but with a first place schedule, making the playoffs is going to be very tough regardless of whether #4 comes back or not.

Play this weekly NFL Football Contestto see if you can win.

Chicago Bears (+350) - The Bears are probably a bit of an overhyped team once again this year.No, we don't think it is plausible for QB Jay Cutler to have as bad of a season as he did last year, and we do think the additions of RB Chester Taylor and DE Julius Peppers are going to help immensely, but there's still something in the water in the Windy City that we aren't so sure about. Maybe Chicago finds its way to .500... but then again, maybe it doesn't. If Favre comes back, Cutler might be the worst quarterback in this division this year.

Detroit Lions (+1500) - The Lions are probably once again going to be the whipping boys for the rest of the teams in the NFC North, but they aren't just going to roll over and die once again. There is some real talent amassing on this team offensively, as the combination of QB Matt Stafford, RB Jahvid Best, WR Calvin Johnson, and TE Brandon Pettigrew should put a bunch of points on the board if the offensive line can even remotely hold up. The questions really lie on defense, where it feels like DT Ndamukong Suh is going to be trying to stop opposing teams all by himself. This year should show some marked improvement in the Motor City.

The Patriots will make NFL betting fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
